The Best robot vacuums best Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He evaluates and tests cleaning equipment, with a focus on mopping and robot vacuum combos. Multitaskers are an excellent choice for those who want to remove mopping from their list of things to do. Some of them have excellent mapping and obstacles avoidance. Others even wash and refill mopping pads themselves for a hands-free clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you should choose if you want an automatic vacuum cleaner that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models on this list making it easier to maneuver through tight corners and under furniture. It has a 220 degree Lidar that, combined with the 3D Matrix Camera System, provides one of my top navigation and object avoidance capabilities I've seen in a robotic vacuum. It packs a powerful 4600mAh battery that can last for up to 170-minutes, if mopping and suction are set to standard mode (it can run longer in turbo). It will even return to its dock to recharge its battery during the cleaning.
It is very quick and does a great job of cleaning my two-bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, living room and hallways in just one sweep. Its 8,000pa motor is able to remove dirt as well as pet hair and even droppings easily. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets and the dual side brush helps to remove debris from corners.
The mopping performance, though still impressive, is not as effective. The mop rotates quickly and makes use of 2.2lbs to clean dirt and stains. I've noticed that the front arm protrudes out a little more than other robots. This is useful in difficult corners or along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to scoop up larger debris such as books and toys that have been damaged.
Another good thing is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mop I've tried. It is quieter and doesn't create as much noise when vacuuming or mopping. The only drawback is that the S1 Pro must use a specific cleaning solution to perform mopping, and is separate from the vacuum. It is easy to install, and it works well. However when you purchase this vacuum solely for mopping purposes it is important to pay attention to this.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo stands apart from the majority of robot vacuums which mops in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it an ideal choice for homeowners who want an efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.
The device comes with a powerful cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensor technology with an RGB camera. This allows it to map out your home and also identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean effectively and effectively. This ensures an even and thorough clean, while also being relatively quick.
The Q Revo DuoRoller mop pad can reach a variety of surfaces. This includes baseboards, corners and other hard to reach spots. They also come with a stretchy side brush that can extend to reach the floor close to walls and other fixtures. The mop pads are washable and can be dried to remove odors and prevent buildup.
Another feature worth mentioning is the customizable options available via apps. The Q Revo lets you adjust the strength of suction and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random patterns. You can also adjust the number of passes it will make, which will determine the speed at which the device can move around your home. You can also deactivate the side brush to prevent damage to carpets and rugs.
The device is costly, but has many smart features. However, it's important to keep in mind that it has periodic expenses in the form of mopping equipment and maintenance. For instance, a brushroll needs to be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hours and the mop pad needs to be replaced every one to three months.
This robot vacuums that mop vacuum that mops is rated highly on Amazon and includes a broad range of physical automation features. These include an energy button that doubles as a general 'Clean' button and a 'Home' button that will send it back to its base station after completing the cleaning process. It also comes with a multifunctional dock that automatically empty the trash bin, fills up its water tank, and cleans and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be an ideal option for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home neat without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation and long battery life make it easy to maintain a clean home with little effort.
The Matrix Plus is a 2-in-1 robot cleaner vacuum and mop, that is, it can do both vacuuming and mopping. The robot vacuum cleaner best has two modules: a dry bin and reservoir of water, and a separate mopping module with a microfiber pad that snaps into and out of the way. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may appear a bit dated, but they do mean you don't have to worry about changing bags for disposables or refilling the water tank.
The Matrix Plus performed well at vacuuming and mopping. Its greatest feature is its accurate floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. This made it a breeze for the Matrix Plus to navigate around furniture rug, furniture and other obstacles. The app also gives you the option of setting 'No-Go zones' and virtual barriers that help to shield certain areas of your house from being swept with a mop.
We also found that the Matrix Plus did surprisingly well in removing hair of pets. It was able to collect the majority of hair our cats shed and even got into the nooks and crannys of our stairs, where other robots struggled. It was silent and also had a few lovely jingles to indicated when it was beginning or finishing its work.
Its main drawbacks were its lack of sophistication and the need to change out the modules when switching between mopping and vacuuming. The app is not able to keep multiple maps. This can be an issue if your house has several floors. The Matrix Plus robot vacuums with mop is a great choice for those who want a device that can vacuum and mop.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it also has distinctive features that make it worth taking into consideration. The X1 Omni's biggest draw is its massive dock, which doubles as the robot's charging base and housing for two 4-liter water tanks, a cleaning sink and a 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically empties.
The base also comes with a set of buttons to control the system. These allow you to start cleaning, recall the robot, or use the dock's automatic emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch on a child lock that is a great touch for parents worried about kids tinkering with the vacuum.
The X1 Omni, like other robotic vacuums uses its camera to identify obstacles and furniture that are in its path. It will avoid them. Its True Mapping 2.0 navigation system can map your home 10 times faster than laser detection systems and is four times more precise at recognizing objects.
The X1 can be prone to become stuck if it is entangled in a hazard like a power cable draped over a rug. It won't function until you untangle it manually. Although this is not a common occurrence but it was a very frustrating experience when it did happen, especially since the X1 Omni doesn't come with an "stuck" status alert in its app.
Another possible issue is another issue is the X1 Omni's inability to automatically switch between mopping and vacuuming modes during cleaning. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad but the mopping pad isn't cleaned or dried between uses. This can lead to mildew and mold.
The X1 Omni looks great, thanks to the Jacob Jensen design team (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who designed the sleek, modern base and mopping pad. It's a big contrast to the basic black bases of rivals like Roborock or iRobot. And it's an excellent choice for a market dominated by clunky boxy units.
